Hi folks --

Does anyone have any background information on "Man of Constant Sorrow?" I know it's public domain but the song has a decidedly 20th century feel to it. The Stanley Brothers seem to have the definitive version, but I think I recall that there are earlier recordings. Was it always so jaunty? We have a slowed-down version on our mp3.com site: http://www.mp3.com/mountainsoul. Can anyone provide information as to this song's origins?

Hi there,

I'm trying to make sure Man of Constant Sorrow is public domain. Does anyone know where I can definitely prove this?

Thanks!

Wow, I am a Spanish-speaking writer and going through this song and its variations along decades and artists and all I find here is of a big value. Thanks.
